Is it Corozal Free Zone? Why is it that I can only find photos that look like they're from the 90s?

Photo of Corozal Free Zone

Why do I kind of want to go there?

"Free economic zone" raises my hackles. Is this a technical geopolitical term or is it really just gonna be the Corporation Wars zone?

EDIT: I think I was kind of thinking of "Free trade zones" which this is not. So who knows what they're talking about.

It's just that all your shit and users are there, like issue tracking in this case.

The original blog post is rather frank and to the point. Wish the engineering leadership I worked with communicated this well.

I think when the economics of destroying a thing is better than reusing a thing, we should maybe have some sort of incentives toward reuse.

I get that the logistics of setting up what's basically a secondary supply chain is difficult, but I've got to believe it would be for the better.

That's really disheartening. Not because of my want for cheap RAM, but for the sheer waste of it all.

For example, OpenAI's new "Stargate" project reportedly signed deals with Samsung and SK Hynix for up to 900,000 wafers of DRAM per month to feed its AI clusters, which is an amount close to 40% of total global DRAM output if it's ever met. That's an absurd amount of DRAM.

Will these even be useful on the second hand market, or are these chips gonna be on specialized PCBs for these machines?

This isn't meant for your house. From TFA:

A hotel in Osaka bought the first machine and is preparing to offer the service to hotel guests, the spokeswoman said.

Other customers include Yamada Denki, a major consumer electronics retail chain in Japan, which hopes the machine will draw people to visit its outlets, she said.

“Because part of the appeal of this machine is rarity, we plan to produce only about 50 units,” Ms Maekura said.

 

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of South Memphis that already leads the state in emergency department visits for asthma.

None of the 35 methane gas turbines that help power xAI’s massive supercomputer is equipped with pollution controls typically required by federal rules.

The company has no Clean Air Act permits.
